BUTUAN CITY -- The Commission on Elections (COMELEC) in Butuan City will hold a Voter’s Education and Registration Fair (VERF) and Registration Anywhere Program (RAP) on April 27, at 3rd floor event center, SM City Butuan.

Part of the VERF is the lecture on voter’s rights and responsibilities which will be participated by students and voters to help them understand their right to vote as well as the underlying responsibilities of being a voter.

A registration will also be conducted after the lecture where they will practice and execute the learning from the activity.

The Registration Anywhere Program (RAP) is conducted monthly at the mall for those voters living outside of their hometown who cannot go home to register. 

A Satellite Registration of Voters is also conducted to various barangays in Butuan City. For the month of March, COMELEC Butuan City already covered eight barangays, namely Dulag, Manila de Bugabus, Amparo, Mandamo, Florida, and Sumile.
